Neurodevelopmental Diagnostic Evaluation
We provide comprehensive diagnostic evaluation services for children, adolescents, and adults. The evaluation team is led by our licensed psychologists, but may also include other trained professionals including student trainees, based on the needs of the individual.
Overview
Our neurodevelopmental diagnostic evaluations include a comprehensive assessment of psycho-social and behavioral development. The primary goal of a neurodevelopmental evaluation is to identify symptoms, concerns, and behaviors that may align with a developmental disability. Our psychologists and diagnostic team seek to identify and quantify diagnoses that begin in childhood and persist over the lifespan (e.g., ASD, intellectual disability (ID), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and language disorders).
- Gather historical information through clinical interviews and completion of rating scales.
- Engage in direct observation of the individual’s social and emotional behaviors.
- Administer standard assessments to asses intellectual, social, and behavioral functioning.
- Provide feedback to review assessment findings, provide recommendations, and answer any questions the individual and/or family may have.
What can a neurodevelopmental diagnostic evaluation do for you?
- Help to gain a better understanding of your diagnosis and how it relates to you.
- Results can help you identify goals and services to support independence and to optimize quality of life.

New Referral Information
At Kelberman, every individual and family matters deeply to us. Due to high demand and our commitment to providing thorough, individualized assessments, we are temporarily pausing new referrals for diagnostic services within Kelberman’s Article 16 Clinic.
We know this may be disappointing news for those seeking answers, and we want you to know this decision was made with great care. Our team is working hard to expand capacity so we can welcome new families again soon. In the meantime, we encourage you to explore the availability of a diagnostic evaluation at another Article 16 clinic, which can be found on the OPWDD website here.
Additionally, we welcome you to be a part of the Kelberman community by attending our community events and/or learning series hosted by Kelberman staff throughout the year. If you are interested, please contact info@kelbermancenter.org to share your contact information and be added to Kelberman’s email list.
Thank you for your understanding and for being part of our community.
